Quick recap

Duane and Stephanie, two pranksters from Wheeler Falls, love touring Hill House, said to be haunted by Andrew Craw, a boy beheaded by a ghostly sea captain. Bored with their usual pranks, they decide to hunt for Andrew's missing head during a tour. Their guide, Otto, catches them sneaking upstairs. Later Seth, a boy from the tour, helps them back in, locks them in a pantry, and claims to be Andrew, eyeing Duane's head. Together the three find a tunnel and a secret room holding the head. Andrew's ghost appears, takes it, thanks them, and moves on. Seth was Otto's nephew. Months later, police tell them the house closed three months ago, and Otto and Edna watch from a window as ghosts.
